Definitions
- the present invention relates to an artificial knee joint to replace a knee joint.
- This artificial knee is a combination of a femoral component that is to be attached to the distal end of the femur and has a medial condyle and lateral condyle and a tibial component that is to be attached to the proximal end of the tibia and has a medial articular surface and a lateral articular surface that support the medial condyle and lateral condyle, respectively.
- both of these condyles and articular surfaces must perform the same movements as a biological knee.
- the inventors proposed inducing rotation more easily by inward inclination of the joint line of an artificial knee in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11313845 and produced commensurate results.
- the PS-type artificial knee has other problems. More specifically, the post and the side surfaces of the intercondylar groove interfere with one another due to rotation during flexion. The post is worn by the interference and the powder from this abrasion invades bones and other tissues, causing them to dissolve and break down biologically. Therefore, this interference is avoided by making the post width much narrower than the width of the intercondylar groove. However, as a result, there is a reduction in strength of the post and the post may break. Moreover, the cam makes firm contact with the post at the end of flexion. If the post width is narrow at this time, there will be a reduction in contact surface area and surface pressure will rise to promote abrasion.
- the problems to be solved by the present invention is to provide smooth movement, readily induce rotation and make it possible to reduce abrasion and guarantee strength by skillfully devising the shape and placement of the post and cam taking into consideration the specific relationship between the post and intercondylar groove and the specific relationship between the condyles and the articular surfaces.
- the cam is provided horizontally in the intercondylar groove and in a drum shape that is depressed in a center thereof, and the outer side diameter of the cam is larger than an inner side diameter thereof.
- the lateral articular surface side of the posterior surface of the post is set back from the medial auricular surface side thereof so that the center of the curvature is displaced outwardly.
- the lateral surface of the intercondylar groove is formed parallel to the center line of the fermoral component; the medial surface of the intercondylar groove gradually curves from the posterior end to the anterior end of the intercondylar groove and comes closer to the lateral condyle side beginning near an end of the cam; and the post is formed into substantially a triangular shape when viewed form above by reducing thickness of the side surfaces from the side surfaces toward the anterior surface.
- the curvature radius of the surface of the cam and the curvature radius of the posterior surface of the post are substantially the same; and the medial and lateral articular surfaces of the tibial component are concave in side view, and the posterior portion of the lateral articular surface is flat.
- the joint line that connects the lowest points of the contact surface between the medial condyle and the medial articular surface and the lowest points of the contact surface between the lateral condyle and the lateral articular surface in the medial-lateral vertical cross section is inclined medially at substantially the same angle over the entire inflexion-extension angle region.
- the present invention With the above structure of the artificial knee joint of the present invention, rotation is induced as a result of the femur and the tibia flexing, that is, the femoral component and the tibial component turning.
- ligament balance is no different from that of a biological knee joint, smooth motion from the joint becomes possible, and it becomes possible to cope with the deep flexion actions unique to Japanese, including the formal way of sitting with one's legs folded and sitting cross-legged.
- the present invention provides specific shape and placement of the post and cam for inducing rotation.
- turning is induced from the early stages of rotation, and interference between the medial side surface of the intercondylar groove and the post at this time is prevented, abrasion is reduced, and smooth movement is realized. Furthermore, the cam rotates smoothly with respect to the post, contact surface area is increased, and abrasion is reduced. In addition, turning is induced over the entire angle of flexion.

- FIG. 1 is a side view of an attached artificial knee joint in standing position as an example of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross section of a rear view of the same.
- the artificial knee joint of the present invention is a combination of femoral component 1 and tibial component 2 .
- the femoral component 1 is made from titanium alloy or another biocompatible metal; and it has inlet-shaped intercondylar groove 3 extending from the posterior end to near the anterior end disposed in the center and medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 formed to substantially the shape of the letter C by the side view.
- the femoral component 1 is attached to the distal end of femur 6 .
- the outline of medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 is convex from the front to the back, and this convex shape is longitudinally contiguous in a stripe.
- FIG. 4 is a top view of femoral component 1 .
- Cam 7 is provided horizontally over medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 in the posterior portion of intercondylar groove 3 of the femoral component 1 .
- This cam 7 has a drum shape with a depressed center; and in the shown example, the lateral condyle 5 side (or outer side) is formed to have a large diameter than the inner side.
- the cam 7 is cut half way from the top along the line of the anterior surface of the posterior wall of femoral component 1 .
- the cam 7 is made from the same material as femoral component 1 .
- lateral surface 3 a of intercondylar groove 3 extends parallel to the center line of intercondylar groove 3 ; and medial surface 3 b extends, from the posterior end to the anterior end, in a gradual curve toward the lateral condyle 5 side beginning near the end of the cam 7 and connects the lateral surface 3 a.
- the tibial component 2 is made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene or another medical resin, and it is attached to the proximal end of tibia 8 .
- the tibial component 2 in this case is made from a biocompatible metal and is mounted on tibial base plate 9 with peg 9 a that will be inserted into tibia 8 .
- Medial articular surface 10 and lateral articular surface 11 that support medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 of above-described femoral component 1 , respectively, are formed in the top surface of tibial component 2 separated by low protrusion 12 .
- articular surfaces 10 and 11 are both concave following almost exactly the outline of medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 , and this concave shape extends longitudinally.
- the medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 and the projected plane above or below medial articular surface 10 and lateral articular surface 11 are approximately the same size.
- FIG. 5 is a top view of the tibial component 2 , showing also both sides in cross section.
- Both articular surfaces 10 and 11 are concave in the center. However, starting from the middle, the posterior portion of lateral articular surface 11 is flat and turns slightly back medially at the posterior end side thereof. Moreover, post 13 is provided to stand near approximately the center of medial and lateral articular surfaces 10 and 11 .
- the post 13 is substantially circular at both the anterior surface and posterior surface when viewed from above, but the curvature radius of the posterior surface is larger and gradually curves outward.
- the post 13 has a substantially triangular shape that is formed by reducing thickness of the side surfaces from the side surfaces toward the anterior surface (the broken line is the outline when thickness is not reduced).
- the post 13 of the shown example is disposed slightly turned to the lateral condyle 5 side (twisted).
- the post 13 forms one unit made from the same material as the tibial component 2 , but it can also be a separate unit and attached to the tibial component.
- concave part 14 is formed in the posterior portion of the post 13 depressed slightly more than either of articular surfaces 10 and 11 , and the posterior portion of the concave part 14 is cut out to form a notched portion 15 .
- Femoral component 1 and tibial component 2 that form the above-described artificial knee joint rotate relatively with the flexion and extension of the knee. This is made possible by medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 rotating as they roll and slide over the medial articular surface 10 and lateral articular surface 11 as the intercondylar groove 3 is guided by the post 13 .
- the angle of rotation is ⁇ 10 degrees to 150 degrees vertically.
- FIG. 3 is a side view showing the state where femoral component I and tibial component 2 rotate relatively with flexion of the knee.
- the cam 7 of the femoral component 1 is positioned away from the post 13 of the tibial component 2 ( FIG. 1 ).
- the medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 of the femoral component 1 roll and slide over the medial articular surface 10 and lateral articular surface 11 of the tibial component 2 , and the cam 7 comes closer to the post 13 as the knee flexes.
- FIG. 6 is a top view of an artificial knee joint showing the above-described state.
- the cam 7 has the shape of a drum wherein the lateral condyle 5 side (outer side) has a large diameter than the inner side, and the post 13 has the shape in which the surface that comes into contact with the post 13 , or its posterior surface, is a gradually outwardly curving surface that is disposed to be turned slightly to the lateral condyle 5 side. Therefore, there is further external turning of cam 7 or femoral component 1 , when it comes into contact with the post 13 .
- cam 7 by way of increasing the outer diameter of cam 7 during the final stage of its rotation, it is possible to gradually increase the degree of the outward (lateral) turning of the femoral component 1 .
- Making the curvature radius of the drum shape of cam 7 approximately the same as the curvature radius of the posterior surface of post 13 in this case will increase the contact surface area and thereby realize smooth movement as well as help to reduce wear.
- the cam 7 is formed so that it has a larger diameter on the lateral condyle 5 side and the post 13 is disposed turned slightly toward the lateral condyle 5 side.
- This is a preferred embodiment for turning the femoral component 1 outwardly, but external turning of the lateral condyle 5 is not limited to this example and can be by other designs.
- FIG. 6 shown in FIG. 6 is the tibial centerline S′ and the temoral centerline S.
- FIGS. 7A and 7B show the relationship between the cam 7 and post 13 in which the outward (or lateral) turning is made possible.
- the post 13 can face the cam 7 square as shown in FIG. 7A .
- the lateral articular surface 11 side at the posterior surface of the post 13 should be set back from the medial articular surface 10 side, that is, the center of the curvature (or radius) can be displaced outward as shown in FIG. 7B .
- the medial condyle 4 is substantially uniformly thicker over the entire flexion-extension angle region than the lateral condyle 5 . Accordingly, the medial articular surface 10 of the tibial component 2 is substantially uniformly thinner over the entire flexion-extension angel region than the lateral articular surface 11 .
- the outside periphery of the medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 and the medial articular surface 10 and lateral articular surface 11 is graded such that the balance between tension and relaxation of the respective collateral ligaments will not be destroyed; and joint line L connecting the lowest points on the contact surface between medial articular surface 10 and lateral contact surface 11 that receive medial condyle 4 and lateral condyle 5 , respectively, is set to be lower in the medial direction, that is, is inclined inward, in the medial-lateral vertical cross section.
- the above design is made because it meets the structure of a biological knee joint; and by way of making the artificial knee the same as the biological knee, the balance between tension and relaxation of the collateral ligament is not damaged, and knee function (flexion-extension) after replacement will be the same as that of a biological knee.
- the inward inclination angle ⁇ of joint line JL in this case is the same as that of a biological knee joint at 1 to 10 degrees, preferably 2 to 5 degrees.
- the curvature radius of the convex surface of the medial condyle 4 is smaller than that of the lateral condyle 5 ; accordingly, the curvature radius of the concave surface of the medial articular surface 10 is smaller than that of the lateral articular surface 11 .
- the maximum thickness line M obtained by longitudinally connecting the points of maximum thickness of the medial condyle 4 turns outward as it moves forward and the distance from maximum radial line M′ obtained by longitudinally connecting the points of maximum thickness of the lateral condyle 5 (becomes substantially straight longitudinally) becomes narrower (as a result, as seen from FIG. 5 , lines L and L′ corresponding to these lines of FIG. 4 are also formed by medial and lateral articular surfaces 10 and 11 ).
- a so-called toe-in design is created as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 .
- turning of the tibia 8 is further induced when the knee is flexed.
- the artificial knee joint of the present invention with the above-described unique shape and placement of the cam 7 and post 13 , and with the above-described unique shape of the intercondylar groove 3 and both articular surfaces 10 and 11 , it is possible to induce rotation during flexion without destroying the balance between tension and relaxation of the ligaments, particularly the collateral ligaments. Consequently, movement similar to that of a biological knee joint is made without any discomfort, and there is no reduction in function even a part of the ligaments is cut during surgery; and surgical time and other stress to the patient is reduced. Furthermore, when the joint line JL is made inclined inward, it is possible to realize deep flexion of 130 degrees or more because rotation is more easily induced during flexion and extension o the knee.
